Take for instance the Innholders -- I should say that the
Master Innholder does know this is coming - now you might think that in the old days innholders ran an innocent activity, providing bed and board for travellers and their horses: but there was also a theory that they were an arm of the government, in practice informers paid by the authorities to pass on tales and gossip picked up in their inns.
The Master Innholder perhaps unwisely asked me to speak at a recent
Court lunch, so I set about my research on his
Company, pursuing that theory.
Looking for inspiration, I typed the phrase "were Innholders spies?" into google, the result was explosive, the web is heaving with conspiracy theories about the Innholders.
I refer you to one
Abel Danger, whose website alleges that the
Worshipful Company of Innholders is an arm of the
British security services, the so-called MI-3, and was deeply involved inter alia in the attack on
Pearl Harbour and the assassination of
JFK and
Lee Harvey Oswald, that the order to kill
Oswald was relayed over Innholder communication systems via madams operating out of a
Hotel in the
Bahamas and the
Lexington Hotel in
Chicago, which Abel Danger asserts was a homosexual brothel and command authority base for
Al Capone and
Jack Ruby etc
..
The company you keep, Master Innholder! But of course understandably you hotly deny this connection. But a caution to you all, beware of what you do in an Inn these days. To pick up my thread, some companies may have gone too far in reconnecting with their trade.
But it may be undesirable for some companies to do so.
Take the
Mercers. I recall a conversation with the
CEO of a company which runs trade fairs around the world: he wanted to know what Mercers did -- I explained what the trade was and that it was carried on, on the south side of
Cheapside, in what would have looked like a covered market with dozens
of little stalls manned by Mercers, all subject to the rules and regulations laid down by the Company. When I painted this picture, his response, quick as a flash, was "Oh, you used to run a souk", - not quite what I have in mind for re-establishing a connection with our trade.
Without such a connection, we fall back on being a livery company, with fellowship and philanthropy at the core of our activities. But I echo your question,
Lord Mayor, Is this enough? The impression still lingers, that it is "all about the dinners", to wit, the FT article a year or so ago, in which
Matthew Engel dwelt on this very issue after attending a Livery Dinner, although he eventually accepted that it was not all about the dinners at the venerable company which had been his host, and indeed in others.
But it might not be so easy to win over the press. Matthew Engel argued that the Livery
